I'm sure someday we will figure out how to refine nuclear waste just like grades of gasoline.
If you think the price of gas is going to drop significantly and stay there, I have a small piece of a bridge I'd like to sell you.
Technicaly we could send nuclear waste into space. Doable with off the shelf tehnology. Try getting it past the tree huggers and the peace activists.
for now, we bury it next to the stuff we bring in from France so that they can be "totally nuclear." I believe in Nevada and Idaho. Boy are those states happy about it.
If we stay on our current course, you are right about the price of gas. And if and when we develope new technologies in electric or hydrogen, cold fusion or Mr Fusion, those products will be priced as high. They only have to compete with the possible future price hikes of oil to be economically viable. Just like Ethanol is today.
Meanwhile, close to 300,000,000 Americans stand at the pump and empty their wallets while leaders contemplate what we "ought to do." Just like they did in the 70's.
I'll pass on the bridge offer. I have to put fuel in my old Dodge one ton I paid 3 grand extra for to get an
economical diesel engine.
